Re: September TWW/Beta Testers!

  • **Lurking** Oh my gosh @wifeinraleigh28, I've been waiting ages to hear your good news!! Congrats on a lovely beta!!! I can't wait to see you over on PaIF soon!

  • @lefemmeviolette so sorry.  Sending hugs


    @wifeinraleigh28 YAY so happy for you - congrats!  H&H 9 months!


    @Jsmorrissey don't give up hope!

  • @LeFemmeViolette I'm so sorry. Always so hard. 

    @wifeinraleigh28 Oh, wow, congratulations! Wishing you the best!
    Me: 33, PCOS with anovulation
    DH: 36, No known issues
    TTC since 11/2014
    1000mg Metformin daily

    Oct-Dec 2015: Letrozole 5mg, Ovidrel, TI = BFN x 2
    Feb-May 2016: Letrozole 5mg, Ovidrel, TI, Prometrium = BFN x 3
    August 2016: Clomid 100mg no response, Letrozole 5mg, Ovidrel, TI, Prometrium = BFN

  • The clinic called and left a voicemail but I promised DH that I would wait for him to listen, so another hour and 15 minutes. The voice message is 56 seconds long and I'm driving myself crazy trying to determine if that's enough time for "congratulations your beta is X, here are your med instructions and please come in for beta #2 on Wednesday" or if it's just long enough for "I'm so sorry, your beta is negative, please discontinue all meds and call with any questions"

    It's not looking good though. Went to the bathroom a little bit ago and wiped some brown discharge, just went again and this time there was a little pink. I'm not feeling optimistic as I have a feeling it's too late for any implantation bleeding since I'm 14dp5dt.

    I know it's not over until I listen to the voicemail and know for sure either way, but I'm not feeling positive. If it is my period, this is just a cruel joke as I haven't gotten my period since I went off the pill in early 2014 without some sort of medical intervention. So if it is, through all the meds I'm on, I don't think I'll know whether to laugh, cry, scream, or curse. Maybe a combo of all.

  • @mtpbadger Personally I just highly doubt that the spotting is early signs of AF. Spotting like that is a very NORMAL pregnancy symptom so I have high hopes for good news on that voicemail! Ahhhh, what time will you and DH be listening to it? I want to know when to start refreshing! Haha.

  • I'm trying to keep my hopes up but it's so hard! We will be visiting our friends new puppy right after work so should be listening to it around 4pm eastern as soon as we get back in the car. I'm hoping the puppy kisses will help if it is bad news after. It doesn't help that I've had a rough morning at work that completely wiped me out. I'm just coasting thru the next hour at this point. 
  • @mtpbadger you have so much willpower - there is no way that I wouldn't have listened to that voicemail already! FX for you! AND - puppy kisses make everything better.

  • @madasm0530 I don't think it's as much willpower as it is I'm terrified to hear the news if it's negative! I'm driving myself crazy though b/c last FET they didn't call until almost 5pm and it was negative, so I'm wondering if they start with the positive ones b/c they need to re-up on meds and negatives are last on the list? I'm sure there is no rhyme or reason to the order in which they call and I'm just making myself go batty with all the "what ifs"!
  • @LeFemmeViolette I'm so sorry. I know how devastating and awful it is.  Don't give up.

  • Hello y'all! I just had my first IUI after my miscarriage, back in July, on Wednesday, September, 21. I'm feeling very hopeful and am trying to remember that this is a complete different IUI with a completely different possibility. I can't help but mourn though as I miss the baby I lost.

  • Oh my gosh! Congratulations ladies!!
    @wifeinraleigh28  @mtpbader

    So extremely excited for you and hopeful for a H&H 9!!

  • @wifeinraleigh28 I am ashamed to say it, but I did POAS yesterday.  It was super super super super faint.  I feel if it worked and wasn't chemical, it would have been darker.  **TW when I got pregnant naturally it was faint (not this faint) and my first beta only came back at 32.  I know it's not over til its over, but my anxiety is through the roof.   I had a little breakdown before bed last night.

    However, I am excited to hear your and @mtpbadger results tomorrow.  You both started with amazing numbers!!!!!  It's nice that the month is wrapping up with some positives!!!!! :)

  • @jsmorrissey fx for you that you get a strong number tomorrow! I think I'm more anxious/excited for you tomorrow than I am for myself! 
  • @Jsmorrissey Try not to stress about the line being faint! I know, easier said than done, but sometimes that means absolutely nothing! I think the fact that your test picked up HCG could mean good news. Obviously only the blood test can tell the truth. I'm so hopeful for you tomorrow. Praying that you (and the rest of us) all get fabulous news tomorrow!!

  • T&P for @jsmorrissey today!  Please let us know how it goes!
  • Thinking about all the betas today, good luck ladies :)
  • Well, the one time I step out of my office without my cell phone is of course when the clinic calls. Beta only rose to 324, so not even a 20% increase, and they want to see around 70% at this point. I'm to stay on my meds for now and go for repeat bloodwork on Friday. Which means I have to find somewhere near my parents house in MN since I'm flying in for the weekend to visit. I haven't told them we did another cycle so not sure how I'll cover this one up.
  • @mtpbadger stay hopeful!  Fingers crossed that your beta catches up when you go back on Friday.  Maybe your RE office can recommend another place where you can go when you're visiting your parents?  As far as your cover-up story maybe you can say you ran out of [insert necessity] and you have to pick some up?  Or you want to meet a hometown friend for coffee?  Sending positive vibes your way!
  • @mtpbadger Fx that Friday's beta has better results. Keeping my thoughts on a positive outcome for you!!

    @wifeinraleigh28 Yayyy!!!!
